I am considering a self-financed, self organized trip to Kazakhstan next summer. I will learn russian and immerse myself in the culture and history of the reigon, and hopefully have a good time and learn a lot of things i wasn’t expecting to.

K-stan isn’t exactly a “bike-ride in france” essay topic, and i am not doing this by any means to spawn an essay topic. It also stands out as a rather odd place to go out of your way to visit (at least i think so). My concern is that colleges will see self-run travel as less than valuable because of a lack of structure and a lack of a papertrail of assessment. Does anyone have any personal experience with this sort of thing? or know someone who does?
